Can you confirm this? (report what "diskinfo -v <drive>" outputs, but you'll probably also have to lookup on the drives themselves or on the net for the specific model you have). If so, until FreeBSD gets this right (heh), you will have to do this dance with your drives to make ZFS 4K-aligned. But first, try figuring out if the drives are 4K.
